Suggested implementations:
-Adventurer classes. Gives access to base stat adjustments and abilities. Adventurers can be sent back to the guild and have their class changed.
-Class levels. Classes can level up and provide more base stats and new abilities. More advanced jobs require levels in lower tier jobs (Eg: Fighter 10+Priest 10=Paladin)
-Partying: Assign adventurers to stay within a small range of other adventurers and fight/explore together. Some classes could be focused on exploring farther away from the guild (Be a Scout/Partied with a Scout to increase range the adventurer/party can explore away from the guild)
Bugs:
When the game is first opened the Adventurer Guild menu is opened but upon closing it you are no longer able to open it back up by M1 on the Guild or any other constructed guilds. Thus you cannot recruit new adventurers.

Adventurer classes sounds like such an interesting idea. There are a few issues with this idea like how the stats multiply with certain classes and I don’t get what it’d be used for other than another visual stat, but I guess that depends on how I make it..
Class levels seems redundant or overused of the leveling system for an adventurer to have 2 leveling things 1 for class and one for their base level, but I think having it as a proficiency, and just having whatever they do the most be what their class is (IE. if someone moves more than they hunt by level 10 (more or less) then they are a scout, or if one doesn’t move nor fight they are wizard, and if they fight they are a warrior)
Partying sounds like a great idea, but the conditions that make them move around (very simple ai) would make adding this pretty difficulty, but I have a few ideas.
That is a somewhat known issue that the guild menu doesn’t open, by somewhat I mean I was only able to get that to happen by trying to make it disappear, but I think if you’re playing it at a resolution less than 1980x1080 it breaks for some reason
Thanks for the suggestions they sound like really good ideas and I’ll see what I can add, and thanks for pointing out the bug, I didn’t realize it’d be such an issue.
No problem.
The class levels things was in order to allow class progression and also to make it so people who have been in a class for so long are more proficient at the job. But the main point is so that adventurers can advance in different classes and unlock higher tier classes. Like Paladin like I described or Fighter+Wiz=Mage Knight or something like that, there's tons of potential things you could do and material to draw from for this.
Also like you said it depends on how you make it. The main thing that appeals to me for it is so that you can create actual party compositions (Tank/Healer/DPS) as well as have people that perform different functions (like the Scout allowing further distance from the guilds) and then have them partied up in order to allow adventurers to be specialized.
Having adventurers earn classes based on what they tend to do the most could be interesting but without having direct control/influence I could see this becoming problematic because most adventurers will tend to become the same thing (IE: No one would wind up a wizard because they are always moving around and fighting/having to return to places to heal/deposit gold and that sort of thing.) Ultimately like you said it all depends on how you want to do it because it's your game but yea just some suggestions! I love party management games and there's basically no/little idle games that do it well so here's hoping you create something fun to play!
Ok, you kinda sold me on your idea, there are a few systems that need revamped or the whole idea of these are pointless, like combat is basically whichever has the better stats wins instantly, and to make a party system, like a tank take damage (or distract) while a fighter can get in and attack, then comes the problem of an overly one-sided party where the fighter would be the only one getting XP. There are a few other issues as-well, working on this would definitely take a while, but I’ll try adding it.
I just updated the game with some of the features like event referring, and fixes that bug you were having. Saves have been kinda reset unfortunately, something I had to change for the future of the game kinda messes with current saves.
I’ll probably work on some of the more technical or user experience things next update. Along with party systems, it sounds really fun and painful to try and make hahaha.
